Hi Sue,
When I return a book for more editing, I have 2 options. I can return the book
that the original person submitted, or I can return the validated copy. 99% of
the time I return the validated copy, retaining all the changes that the
validator made. Only when the validator deletes all the page breaks in a book
(as happened last week) or when the validator deletes some pages or something
drastic like that, do I return the original book from the submitter. Given that
I can retain all the validation changes, would you like me to return the book
for more editing?
Looks like there are 2 votes for more editing, and no votes for the other
options. This means I should be even more fussy than I already am. That's fine
with me, I would rather allow only well-validated books into the collection,
but I'm afraid that the volunteer group will start a mutiny if I return 3 out
of every 10 books in the approval queue instead of 1 out of every 10 books like
I do now (I'm guessing at these numbers - I haven't kept track, to be honest).
Okay, unless I hear otherwise, I will go into super-fussy mode :-)
Carrie

Hi Carrie,
I woould vote against returning it for more editing
since the copy kicked back would be the submitter's work only, not the book
after validation.
Therefore, may I make another suggestion?
Could you return the book to Step 1 in the RTF file that was uploaded to the
approval queue, with a comment telling what is wrong and requesting more
editing?
Just my thoughts,
Sue S.

I changed the book rating from excellent to good when I approved it because
there are some junk characters on some pages (like the very last page in the
book). If there were just a few junk characters, I'd leave it as excellent. If
there were loads, I'd return it for more editing. This book was right on the
fence. So my question to the group is: what do you want me to do when a book
has
some junk characters, more than a few but less than loads? The choices
are:
1) leave it as excellent
2) return it for more editing
3) change
the rating to good
Have I missed another option?
What's your
vote?
Thanks! Carrie

Hi all:
Did anyone on this list validate Pearl by Tabitha
King? I worked really hard on it, and I noticed it had a "good" rating,
instead of an "excellent" rating. Does anyone know why? I always want to
improve my scans and I'm baffled why this gets a "good" rating. It has a
lot of dialogue but that's all I can think of.
Thanks.
